Well, what you have effectively done is mix a non-EGR type intake system with an EGR type motor. I could go into all kinds of reasons why you are failing, but all that matters is, your intake path isnt getting diuted by recirculated exhaust gasses. So your only option on passing emissions is....CHEAT!
This is exactly the same problem I am having with an S5 motor in an S4 car. And I have learned a lesson from all this...
If you live in an emissions state, dont mix motor series.
